The Floating Cinema will be moored on the canal by Parasol Unit to provide a series of workshops with visual artist Laura X Carle. Over the course of three days, young people will take trips along the canal to explore the ecology and environment before designing and creating floating sculptures.
The Floating Cinema is a unique mobile arts space travelling throughout the canals and waterways of London and beyond. The unique vessel is equipped with an internal cinema space and transforms into a studio for workshops. Taking inspiration from Parasol Unit’s Los Carpenteros exhibition, Laura X Carle will work with participants to explore sculpture and the creation of physical objects that take inspiration from the surrounding landscape. Participants will work with a range of materials to create their own floating sculptures which will be set-sail on the canal at the end of the three days.
*Please note all workshops will start at Parasol unit
